AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
1208 AM CDT MON JUN 27 2011

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

SHORT RANGE FORECAST (TODAY-MONDAY)...

COMPLICATED FORECAST ONGOING FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE MAIN
CONCERN WILL BE THE FORMATION OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS
CHARACTERIZED BY A LARGE TROUGH OVER SOUTHERN CANADA AND A FLATTENED
UPPER RIDGE SITUATED OVER WESTERN TEXAS WITH SSW 500 MB WINDS OVER
THE FORECAST AREA. AT THE SURFACE A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS
GRADUALLY CREPT NORTHWARD AHEAD OF A DEEPENING LEE SIDE SURFACE
TROUGH. STRONG SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS HAVE AIDED IN ACCELERATING
THE PROGRESS OF THE FRONT NORTHWARD. EXPECT THE WARM FRONT TO
FINALLY SET UP NEAR THE KS/NE BORDER BY THE MID AFTERNOON HOURS. ON
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AT 19Z AN AGITATED CUMULUS FIELD SHOWED UP
ALONG THE STRONG CONVERGENCE ZONE RIGHT ALONG THE WARM FRONT. VISUAL
OBSERVATION OF THE CU FIELD NEAR THE WARM FRONT INDICATES THAT THE
CU FIELD HAS LITTLE VERTICAL EXTENT WHICH INFERS THAT THE MID LEVELS
ARE SUFFICIENTLY WARM TO MITIGATE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. 18Z RUC
SHOWS 700 MB TEMPS REACHING 15 C ALONG THE NS/NE BORDER WITH WARMER
TEMPS FURTHER TO THE SOUTH. SHOULD THIS BE THE CASE THE GOING
THOUGHT IS THAT THE WARM MID LEVELS WILL KEEP CONVECTION FROM
OCCURRING...ESPECIALLY IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONSIDERABLE UPPER
LEVEL FORCING. NAM AND RUC ALSO SHOWING A SPLIT IN THE 300 MB JET
OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA WHICH GIVEN THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SPLIT SHOULD ALLOW FOR BETTER CONVECTIVE
CHANCES FURTHER NORTH UNDER THE DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT. SHOULD THE
UPPER JET NOSE INTO NORTHEAST KANSAS THAT WOULD BE ONE MORE
MITIGATING FACTOR TO CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. SHOULD
STORMS BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE MID LEVEL CAP AND UPPER CONVERGENCE
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BECOME SEVERE VERY QUICKLY GIVEN THE
CONSIDERABLE INSTABILITY (APPROXIMATELY 5000 J/KG SBCAPE) AND 50 TO
60 KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR...WITH SUPERCELLS BEING THE LIKELY
CONVECTIVE MODE. THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS ALSO A FOCUS OF
CONCERN SHOULD STORMS INITIATE AS THE BOUNDARY WILL AID IN LOW LEVEL
HELICITY AND BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR A TORNADO WITH ANY STRONG
STORM.

AS THE STORM SYSTEM CURRENTLY ONGOING IN NW NEBRASKA MERGES WITH ANY
AFTERNOON CONVECTION WHICH GETS GOING IN EASTERN NEBRASKA IT IS
EXPECTED TO CONGEAL INTO AN MCS WHICH LOOKS TO DIVE SOUTHEASTWARD.
FORWARD PROPAGATING CORFIDI VECTORS SHOW THAT THE CLUSTER OF
THUNDERSTORMS WOULD MOVE SE INTO OUR NE COUNTIES DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING
WINDS...AND POSSIBLY SOME LARGE HAIL. HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE
WITH THIS COMPLEX WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOME ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING.

FOR MONDAY THE MCS SHOULD BE CLEARED OUT OF THE AREA BY THE MID TO
LATE MORNING HOURS. DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY A SURFACE FRONT WILL
SLOWLY PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE CWA BRINGING COOLER CONDITIONS
TO THE WESTERN ZONES. DON'T EXPECT MUCH IN THE WAY OF CONVECTION
ALONG THE FRONT AS THE CAP CONTINUES TO GAIN STRENGTH OVERNIGHT.
WILL KEEP LOW END CHANCE POPS IN THE NORTHEAST ZONES WHERE THE MID
LEVEL TEMPS DON'T LOOK QUITE AS WARM. ELSEWHERE WILL KEEP SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON MONDAY.

JL

LONG TERM...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SHIFT SOUTH MON NIGHT WITH
RETURN FLOW ALOFT EXPECTED BY TUES NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDS AS THE
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN. BY WEDS PM EXPECT EML TO CAP THE ATMOSPHERE
WITH HOT...HUMID AND MAINLY DRY CONDS EXPECTED INTO THU AT LEAST. RIDGE
AXIS DOES SHIFT SE WITH TIME AS A UPPER WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS. REMNANT FRONT WILL SAG INTO THE REGION WITH SOME
SMALL CHC FOR PRECIP BY THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS
THE UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL.

CO

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 06Z TAF PACKAGE...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED TO THE
NORTH OF THE TERMINALS AND CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST ALONG AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. DUE TO A STRONG CAPPING INVERSION HAVE OPTED TO
CONTINUE WITH A DRY FORECAST AT THE TAF SITES UNTIL THE COLD
FRONT ARRIVES NEAR 12-15Z. STRONG NOCTURNAL LOW LEVEL JET NEAR
40-50 KNOTS BRINGS A CONCERN FOR LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR UNTIL
SUNRISE. AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
THE NORTH WITH GUSTS NEAR 20 KNOTS POSSIBLE. CEILINGS WILL RAISE
AND WINDS WILL WEAKEN NEAR 00Z WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO THE PLAINS.
